Reporting from Washington— As he sets out on a three-day bus tour of the Midwest focused on the economy, President Obama is coming under growing pressure from fellow Democrats to put forward a more aggressive strategy to create jobs than the one he has been touting for months.

Obama has offered a jobs package crafted to win Republican support in a divided Congress. But he faces two distinct problems: Republicans say they won't vote for several pieces of the plan. And Democrats contend the program, even if enacted in full, would fall short of what's needed to boost job growth or revive Obama's political prospects.

White House advisors said the president's economic team was working on a new approach to jump-start the sluggish economy.

"You'll see more ideas," said Jason Furman, deputy director of the president's National Economic Council. "People here are constantly thinking about new ideas and the president is constantly talking about new ideas."

But Furman and other White House aides have declined to reveal a timetable, and many voters are clearly impatient. Polls show Obama receives poor grades for his handling of an economy that may be slipping back into recession. On Sunday, Gallup reported Obama's overall approval rating had fallen to 39% in its daily tracking, the worst in his presidency.

"We're constantly thinking of stuff. We have meetings all of the time just brainstorming trying to come up with something to create jobs. We're working hard and whatnot. It's just our hands are tied, ya know? *jitters* *lights cig* Uh I gotta go. So busy! Working hard and stuff! *thumbs up*"

i'm sure it doesn't help that obama's dream team of economists are all gone. only geithner, who isn't an economist, is left. and he backs cutting the deficit...gasp...he must be a closet tea party member.

but hey, as long as they're tossing around ideas. i feel more confident already.

Maybe President Obama will get lucky and the voters' attention will be directed to American foreign policy.

Everyone would like to cut the deficit. The backlash is against the idea that the deficit is the most crucial factor in whether or not the economy improves. It's a fabricated crisis.

His odds to win re-election have taken a hit as well.

He's now only a 7-to-10 favorite.

Romney (5.7-to-1 odds) is a slight 2nd choice over Perry.

Despite her Iowa Straw Poll win -- Bachman is 33-to-1 and a longer price than Ron Paul.

When the price is right jump on Obama. I think he will win easily.

i don't think it's a fabricated crisis. i also don't think it should be our top priority. my biggest concern is that jobs are an issue, and many in our federal govt don't know the first thing about business. perhaps they should have discussions with businessmen, and try to get some ideas of how to get people out of their hesitation mode. it's like the movie jaws, when everyone was on the beach, waiting for someone to make the first move to get in the water. there's danger-but it seems that if some would start hiring, it would in turn generate more confidence, which would swing the economy in the right direction-and would be a positive snowball effect.

Well there may be no money to pay social security or our military but at least he's supporting the jailed Palestinian terrorists.

Every single Palestinian Authority terrorist held in an Israeli jail receives a monthly salary from the PA. Terrorists who committed the most heinous crimes – and therefore received longer sentences – receive the most money, according to a report in Israeli paper Yisrael Hayom.

The PA treasury receives cash from two main sources: the US pays about 50 percent of the money, and the rest is mostly from European Union member nations.

Since some of the victims of PA terror are American citizens, the information means that US taxpayers pay monthly salaries to the people who murdered their fellow citizens. The latest US citizen who was a victim of PA terror is Ben Yosef Livnat, who was gunned down in Shechem

Maybe Axelrod will have them dig up bin Laden and shoot him again.
